Cathleen Falsani, religion columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times, has a great column today about my book, my recent speaking appearance at Catalyst-a-pa-looza, and the idea of culture making. I was especially glad that she picked up on the idea of making culture in communities of 3, 12, and 120:
It’s an interesting notion. I started cataloguing the big creative projects I’ve worked on in my own life, and such as they are (I’ve not yet dreamed up a Google or something similar), they really do follow that pattern of 3:12:120.
Every one of us has a three in our lives. Look around you. They’re there.
Find them. And create something. Something small. Something huge. Something good.
Put it out there.
Make culture, rather than simply complaining or consuming it.
Become the poet who changes the world.
